Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) wastegate ideas

[mrsmith]

Anyone made thier own B-1 wastegate?the turbo itself has a internal wastegate thats bolted shut but nothing comes with the turbo to activate it. kurt was telling me about one you mount to your manifold for 450. 00 not what I want to spend after buying the turbo. Any suggestions?

Presently there are two choices, put a wastegate in between the manifold and turbo like my old Twins are done which will cause you to modify your down pipe to make it work, or buy a ATS manifold from Piers with the wastegate mounted on it http://www.piersdiesel.com/DodgeWastegate.htm those are your choices right now!

If you already have the ATS manifold, maybe Piers could sell you the wastegate, and then you could take it to a local weld shop and have an 90 degree elbow welded on to snail like this:

Billet wastegate with stainless steel riser or you can get it from Piers. You should call him and see what he can do for your B-1 as he handles them now!
